Will the review change the relationship between Academic Board and Council?

Question:

Will the review change the relationship between Academic Board and Council?

Answer:

The relationship between our Council and Academic Board is described in the same Act of Parliament. The Act states that “There shall be an Academic Board whose members shall be as prescribed by the statutes and it shall… be the body responsible for the academic work of the College in teaching and examining and in research.” Reviewing our statutes will not change how responsibilities are fulfilled between these groups. However, it is hoped that the review will improve the communication between Council and Academic Board, so that the members of each are better informed about the work being undertaken in each body.
